Promoted from the Under 19s, Kerley debuted as a full-forward in the last game of 1971 but by the time he had pulled on the number 9 guernsey he'd been reinvented as a high marking full-back.
Late in the 1973 season he was knocked out by St Kilda's Cowboy Neale and played just ten more games in a disappointing 1974 campaign before joining SANFL Norwood.
